1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the Cylindrobasidium torrendii genome http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cylto1/Cylto1.home.html. The genus Cylindrobasidium belongs to the Physalacriaceae family of the Agaricales. This family includes the well-known pathogen Armillaria mellea (honey mushroom). Unlike that species, however, Cylindrobasidium has a simple, crust-like fruiting body, covering the surface of woody substrate. It was contributed to the 1KFG project by David Hibbett and Laszlo Nagy of Clark University (Massachusetts, USA), and represents the second genus sequenced for the family Physalacriaceae. As always, please contact the lead contact and PIs associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes for permission prior to the use of any data in publications.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the Rickenella mellea genome http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Rmellea. Rickenella (Repetobasidiaceae, Hymenochaetales) Rickenella is a small genus that produces minute mushrooms with a typical “agaricoid” morphology (i.e., they have a cap, stipe and gills). This type of fruiting body is very widespread in mushroom forming fungi, particularly in the large order Agaricales, but Rickenella is a member of the Hymenochaetales, an order containing mostly resupinate (crust) and bracket (shelf) fungi. It was contributed to the 1KFG project by David Hibbett and Laszlo Nagy of Clark University (Massachusetts, USA), and represents the first genome sequenced for the family Repetobasidiaceae.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the Melanomma pulvis-pyrius genome http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Melanommapp. Melanomma pulvis-pyrius(Melanommataceae, Pleosporales) is a saprobic Dothideomycetes on debris of numerous trees and shrubs, especially Fagus. It was contributed to the 1KFG project by Manfred Binder and Pedro Crous of Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures KNAW, Netherlands, and represents the first genome sequenced for the family Melanommataceae.
